The house in 2024:
As explained in more detail in the previous post, this house was built in 1856 as the home of Ethan Ely and his son, who was also named Ethan. The younger Ethan lived here until his death in 1906, and the house was subsequently owned by real estate developer James B. Burbank, who lived here until the 1930s.
The top photo was taken in 1908, and not much has changed with the exterior appearance of the house, with the exception of the loss of the balustrade above the front porch. The house is one of the many historic homes that line this portion of Longmeadow Street, and it is a contributing property in the Longmeadow Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
